III
Turns out I had never seen this movie until this past weekend. I've seen 2 and 4, but somehow this got past me.
This is the one with the dirty cop/ex-cop dealing guns to street gangs, and it has a few of those big gunnie bugaboos. Cop killer bullets and closed bolt semi-autos being readily converted to submachineguns.
Both make sense. Or would to a person unfamiliar to the gun-o-sphere. "Sure, I don't know how to convert a semi auto into a machine gun but I can imagine how that could be easy," would have been MY thought, when the movie came out. And it would have seemed common sense that a submachine gun is much more dangerous that a pistol, right? And a special pointy 9mm bullet that go through a vest like butter? I knew nothing of ballistics (or proper feedway loading from a magazine...) back in the mid 90s, I'll have to take the movies word for it, then.
But hey, there IS a cut the red/blue wire to disarm the bomb dealie in this flick. Bonus!

You can always offend hippies in the comment section. Chances are, those will be held up as a proper example...
